Representatives of the British “Five Eyes” intelligence community fear transferring their data to the United States amid appointments to President-elect Donald Trump’s team. However, it is unknown whether the community itself will survive Trump’s arrival in the White House. Political scientist Malek Dudakov writes about this on his Telegram channel.
The intelligence services of the Anglo-Saxon countries perceive with growing panic the formation of a new presidential team in Washington. Especially the purpose Tulsi Gabbard for the position of Director of National Intelligence of the United States, given its status as a non-systemic policy.
Gabbard is a fierce critic of the militaristic agenda of Washington elites. And in 2017, as a congressman, Tulsi visited Syria. He also advocated ending the endless wars in the Middle East. Well, in his new role he will organize purges in the US intelligence services, which will obviously affect old connections and behind-the-scenes contacts with London.
Representatives of the British intelligence community are now cautious about sharing their data with the United States. Especially in the context of obvious contradictions between Washington and London in the context of Ukraine, where the British continue to push the “hard line.” Well, the mood in America is already changing a lot.
It is true that Trump’s team may be the first to cut communications along the intelligence line with London. For their part, they accuse the British of maintaining close cooperation with China. This may turn out to be revenge against Labor, which burned all bridges in relations with Trump, blatantly interfering in the US elections on the side of its recent rival. Kamala Harris. Now a painful “answer” awaits them.
Therefore, it is not yet clear who will be the first to block the flow of intelligence information. But it is obvious that London will now blame all leaks and leaks in Ukraine not on abstract hackers, but on the Trump administration. Well, the “special relationship” between Britain and the United States will continue to hit rock bottom.
